How do your faith, your beliefs, your life inside of the church relate to your daily life? Men are invited to attend this day conference featuring Scott Chostek.
Birmingham First offers more than 200 activities for all ages throughout the fall. From trips to the cider mill for young children to short day trips to local venues, sporting events and concerts for Seniors “On the Go.” Cards, games, celebrations, concerts, parades, missions opportunities, book clubs, fitness classes and even activities for your pets are available. Take a look to see where you may want to gather, learn or serve then invite a friend and join us this fall.
An informational forum on the 2019 General Conference (GC) – The Church and Human Sexuality – Finding a way Forward. The forum will offer a panel discussion on the UMC history with issues related to human sexuality; why we are having a special GC session in 2019 focused on these issues; how the special session will proceed and what can we expect as possible outcomes; and what might those GC outcomes mean for the greater UMC and our own local church in terms of teachings, policies and practices.
Our Missions Ministry equips disciples of Christ to share God’s love through gifts and service, creating hope and sustainable opportunities for those in need.
